No words. 1/2

My political hot take is that US voters should be able to recall elected representatives via petition - at any time.
No more hiding behind election terms.

Starving people is a weapon of control. So, too, is controlling and attacking the media, attacking science and higher ed, and using the military against citizens and innocent people. All weapons of control.

The thing about Mamdani is that he’s a talented politician but not otherworldly or one in a billion, he’s just a competent guy with popular ideas who ran against an entitled piece of shit and to me it’s a lot more optimistic to imagine 1000 campaigns like his than to view him as a unique phenomenon

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

The capitulation of Democrats should just be another reminder that it isn't left vs. right. It's top vs. bottom.

did my part to make the worst idiots in the world crash out tomorrow

I thought it was hilarious! Keep up the good work.

What he said Part 2: 💯 🎯

NBC's new poll say the most important issue for deciding who to support for Congress is: "Protecting constitutional rights/protecting democracy."

True. It hurts worse when the negativity comes from here. Some of the guards are let down if even just slightly.

Same. That's why having a safe place to come and encourage one another is so important

Seems we have the same friends! Lol

Thank you Congressman Neguse for laying it plain.

Halfway to Fascism: What Project 2025 Has Already Put in Motion Project 2025, a conservative movement, has executed 251 of 532 policy objectives, transforming government and eroding rights.

"According to the Center for Progressive Reform, 48% of the policy objectives have been enacted across multiple federal agencies. Each move is deliberate, eroding rights that generations fought to secure and tightening the grip of a government bent on control." bit.ly/47KVLS1

You should care about Jamaica and Sudan even if you don't know anyone there and the news isn't covering it. The anti-Blackness embedded in folks' lack of empathy is gross.

Lawyers allege cover-up after fed shoots at man during D.C. traffic stop Neither D.C. police nor the Department of Homeland Security have explained why the Homeland Security agent fired his weapon.

Food insecurity is ALWAYS a political choice. Famine is ALWAYS manmade. People go hungry because of other people’s decisions. We have more than enough food for everyone, and enormous amounts of it are wasted—literally thrown in the garbage—on purpose.

As dark as it seems, remember that fascism and authoritarianism have been defeated over and over throughout history. And they’ll be defeated again. Hang in there, and stay frosty as fuck. 🤘🥶

AOC on stage at the podium.

“It’s always in the darkest chapters when the brightest lights emerge.”

Why bother making an actual trade deal when you can just announce a new “framework” every few months and manipulate the markets?

He got the Speaker he wanted - a cuck who will sit in the corner and let him do whatever he pleases whenever he wants.

Good morning and happy Saturday to everyone. Anyone who will execute people at sea, do a flyover as victims speak out, send troops into cities he feels threatened by, deport people to third-country prisons, or illegally fire members of agencies ... will do anything to stay in power. Anything. 🚫👑

Buttigieg: "We are not getting the leadership we need to bring this country together from the White House ... in order to deprive political violence of its power, we have to reject anyone who would try to exploit political violence. The response to this cannot be for the government to crack down."

One thing I've learned from the Internet is that a lie needs 0% proof to be believed, but the truth requires thousands of pages of proof and still won't be believed.

Who could ever have imagined when I played a fictional rebel who joined the Resistance to oppose a criminal Authoritarian & wannabe King, it would be happening in real-life?
